<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8302980, member: 110350&quot;]One small new addition to my tray:</p><p><br /></p><p>George II AV Half-Guinea 1756, Spink 3685, KM 587. By John Croker. Obv. Old laureate head left, GEORGIUS·II· DEI·GRATIA· / Rev. Ornate crowned quartered shield of arms, divided date above, legend around, ·M·B·F·ET·H·REX·F·D·B·ET·L·D·S·R·I·A·T·ET·E·17 – 59 [King of Great Britain France and Ireland Defender of the Faith Duke of Brunswick and Lüneburg Arch-Treasurer and Elector of the Holy Roman Empire]. 20 mm., 4.2 g. <i>Purchased from Dix Noonan Webb Auction 252, 12 April 2022, Lot 175.</i></p><p><br /></p><p><i>[ATTACH=full]1469219[/ATTACH]</i></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s only in &quot;Fine&quot; condition, but that&#039;s fine with me! As such, it was considerably less expensive than it would have been in a higher grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll never be able to reconstitute the collection of British gold I once had (every ruler from Elizabeth I through Elizabeth II), but at least I now have every ruler from George I through Elizabeth II again, except for William IV and George VI.&nbsp; William IV should be possible; George VI is probably way too expensive for me at this point, even for a half-sovereign like I the one used to own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
